omantic encounters on a cruise ship…no, this isn't an episode of The Love Boat, but The Crow's Nest, the restaurant and bar situated on top of The Water Club overlooking the East River. With wooden deck furniture, hardwood floors, white railings strung with light bulbs and porthole windows to simulate a yacht-like experience, The Crow's Nest is an escape from the chaos of the city. The food at the Nest is classic American with some of the best burgers in the city, according to the New York Times. Just don't expect to be serenaded by Dionne Warwick. -C.S.
